World War 1
Small and unprepared for war
The U.S. was unprepared for war with Britain for several reasons: first, the military was small and poorly equipped, lacking a standing army capable of sustained combat. Second, financial constraints limited the ability to raise funds for war efforts, leading to inadequate supplies and resources. Third, there was a lack of political unity, with divisions between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans affecting consensus on military action. Lastly, the country faced challenges in logistics and infrastructure, making it difficult to mobilize forces effectively.
